S249419-044 - Hobart FabCOR 86R 1/16" Metal-Cored Wire - 44lb Spool

Hobart FabCOR 86R 1/16" Metal-Cored Welding Wire

Maximize your welding efficiency with the Hobart FabCOR 86R, a high-performance metal-cored wire available in a 44lb spool. With a diameter of 1/16 inch, this wire is specifically formulated to meet AWS E70C-6M specifications, making it a top choice for professional welders in the heavy equipment, railcar, and shipbuilding sectors. The FabCOR 86R distinguishes itself with a chemical composition rich in deoxidizers, which provides exceptional tolerance for mill scale and oxide layers often found on hot-rolled steel.

The metal-cored design of the FabCOR 86R offers significant advantages over traditional solid MIG wires. It provides a broader arc cone and better wetting action, which helps bridge gaps and ensures smooth tie-ins at the toes of the weld. This wire is optimized for use with high-Argon shielding gas blends, delivering a spray transfer mode that is virtually spatter-free. The result is a clean, high-quality weld deposit with excellent impact toughness and tensile strength. Because it produces very little slag compared to flux-cored alternatives, multi-pass welding can often be performed without inter-pass deslagging, saving valuable time.

Welders Supply is proud to offer this industrial-grade consumable to support your most demanding projects. The FabCOR 86R is compatible with standard CV (Constant Voltage) power sources and is ideal for mechanized or robotic setups where consistent feeding and arc stability are critical. By switching to FabCOR 86R, shops can often realize lower total welding costs through increased travel speeds and reduced labor in pre-weld and post-weld operations.
